I am creating an app with lots of high resolution images optimized for Retina display at 326 DPI, brining my total file size over 50 MB. Right not it is around 85 MB. Any chance the 50 MB file size limit will be increased in the near future?

Thanks,

Omar

If you are targeting iOS with large images please be aware of the limits as described here:

Thanks but this link talks about building a mobile site for safari. I am building a native app that can be downloaded from the App Store.

How about if I host the images on a server and link to them from the app? Is that possible to do? This will bring the size way down. If so, do you have some instructions?

Thanks

Your images are too high dpi. Thats print resolution. For retina display keep at 72 dpi and just double the image size, so for example ipad go 2048 x 1536.

That way you can keep your app size down. In my experience the larger the app the worse the performance. Its a balancing act between image quality and app performance.

Hope that helps

Ok, so it sounds like the dpi or ppi doesn’t really matter as long as I have the correct dimensions, like in your example for iPad 2048 x 1536. I will give it a try. Hopefully the size will be much smaller. Thanks.
